Yoga is probably one of the ancient practices that has been handed down from one generation to another without any enforcement. From a native wellbeing and self-reflective practice, yoga has become a universal way to unwind. More and more people are practicing it, and you would wonder why such a popularity after all these years. Let us try to understand the reasons why yoga is becoming a popular fitness activity. Is it because it is not a physical exercise, or is it because modern human beings are more stressed than those of early years?

More people want to understand their “self” deeply

Our minds are too deceptive to be the parameter to tell who you are. Today you will think of yourself this way, only for tomorrow to have a different line of thought. Many people are done with this kind of deception; they want to understand themselves fully. Yoga is the best way to achieve this. This easily explains why the practice is becoming a more common activity around the world.

Yoga is not physically demanding

Do you know why many people are not interested in physical exercises? These exercises are demanding. But with yoga, you can sit down for the entire session and achieve so much. In fact, this is the sole reason why yoga has been passed down from one generation to the next without anyone preaching about it. It is no wonder yoga is becoming the favorite activity for everyone who does not want the grueling experience with physically demanding exercises.

Yoga delivers on results

From pro yoga practitioners to amateurs, the story is always the same. Yoga has helped me achieve this or that. There is proof that yoga lives to its promise of a better wellbeing for those who practice it. This would explain why it is picking popularity because people are tired of the false promises with other wellbeing activities.

Yoga has been persistent

Fashions come and go, but yoga has never faded since its ancient days. It might be taught differently from the native ways, but it has never left. Even today, it is still gathering momentum and reaching more and more people around the world. This persistence to remain relevant to humans has spiked some interest.

More people are stressed

People are more neurotic and anxious than before. They have tried other physical activities to deal with stress, but they are not getting the best from them. Yoga, being a natural and less demanding way to overcome stress, becomes the best activity for peoples’ well-being. As the world’s intellectuals become stronger, they need to find logical solutions. Technology may be best poised to offer these solutions but not anywhere close to what yoga can do.
